Do you know where I can get pictures of african american slaves dressed in their sunday clothes? I am painting a picture of the slave era and i need pictures of slaves dressed in their sunday clothes. Preferable a woman |
The photo at link [1] below is identified as "1860's Slave Family". Of course it is in black-and-white, so you will have to imagine the colors for yourself. But it is a posed family picture, and I'm sure that everyone put on their very best clothes for the occasion. The three women (two standing, one seated) are much better dressed than the men.
The second link is also to an original slave-era photo. The detail is not as good as on the link [1] photo.
The third link takes you to a portrait photo. Her wedding ring tells us that this is a free woman because slaves couldn't legally marry. But the style of her dress and hair date from the early 1860s, right around the time the Civil War began. I believe that this photo is from Kansas; if so, the woman is probably a successful run-away slave, harbored by a white abolitionist family.
The fourth link takes you to a re-enactment photo, not to an original contemporary photo. But it is in color, and it seems to be an accurate representation. The three women are preparing a meal (not therefore in their "Sunday Best"). |
Where can I find pictures of slaves in Sudan? I'm giving a speech on slavery in Sudan, and I really need some pictures. I've searched the web, but haven't found anything yet. Does anybody know of a site? The pictures can be graphic, actually I would prefer that. I want people to know what it's really like over there.

Which is worse to have on the currency, "in god we trust" or pictures of slave owners? So what if they were the founding fathers and the history of this nation. Owning slaves whether its legal or not is despicable. They said all men were created equal and liberty and justice for all. Why should having in god we trust printed on the money be more of a problem than having slave owners on them? |
| Better dead slave holders than living tyrants. |

I completely agree with you.
I prefer British currency:
Charles Darwin on the currency makes much more sense |

How well did they feed the slaves? In my history book at school there is a lot of old pictures of the slaves from a long time ago. Every single one is very--er...fat---Why is this? Were they kept well fed? |
Slaves were not cheap to buy and they were bought for a purpose.
It did not make sense to beat them or starve them as a normal process however there were occasions where this may have been used to "break" a wily or recalcitrant slave.
Most slaves were allowed to marry and have guyren however they could also expect to be sold a few times during their working life. For this purpose if a slave was compliant and worked well he would be looked after.
That does not make slavery OK , it is still an evil and barbaric mindset that keeps slaves. |
Whats worse to have on the money? In God we trust written on it, or pictures of slave owners? which one would Atheists want taken off the money more? |
